Edward Hopper

(Three Studies: Two Sailboats and Rudder)
1895–1899

A hand-drawn sketch of a sailboat on a beige paper background. The boat is depicted with a simple hull and two large triangular sails, with a few lines indicating rigging. Below the main drawing, there are two smaller sketches: one appears to be a funnel shape with a drop falling from it, and the other is a partial, more detailed drawing of the boat's bow. The artwork has a rough, sketch-like quality with visible pen strokes.
